The Aloha Optometric Center building appears to be from the 1960s. I don't know what the original occupant was. [map]
The building now housing the South Bay Art Department was constructed in 1963. It previously housed the King's Gallery, a picture framing store. I don't know if that was the original tenant. [map] |

| former CLIC Photo Joshua Tree, CA |
|
 |
 |
| I believe this structure in Joshua Tree originally housed a CLIC Photo. It appears to be from the 1960s or 1970s. There is an identical booth like this one in Sandell, TX. There was another one of these booths in Clovis, NM which might indicate that these booths were all over the Southwest. However, this structures are so small and light that they could easily be transported anywhere. This booth was previously located in Yucca Valley, CA. The previous owner said there were lots of these booths around Southern California. Around 2006, the owner of Art Queen purchased the booth and moved it to the back of the property. It was later painted lime green and now houses the Crochet Museum. It had previously been painted brown and beige. [map] |
